Shanghai Travel guide

Shanghai : Michelin's recommendations

Before the war, Shanghai, a port city cramped behind its old fortifications, was the rather sad symbol of foreign imperialism in China. Now a showcase for the Chinese business world, busy Shanghai is expanding at an extraordinary rate, demonstrating a vast appetite for luxury and light. Brand-new buildings, neon lights, the largest off-shore port in the world, chic signs... and yet the development of this unbridled modernity has had little effect on the nostalgic face of colonial Shanghai. As a result, there are two sides (maybe even more) to this magnetic city of contrasts and paradoxes.
